Are cyber industry roles paying better than consulting these days? Or maybe it’s always been that way?

I haven’t been able to find anything higher than $105K for 5+ years of consulting experience. It seems like industry salaries are willing to pay a lot higher.

I’ve been at a few banks so I will attempt to speak for finance, pay can top out around 200-250k for non exec roles (managers architect)

Work is much easier and slower and there are a lot of smart people. For me I clear around 200k tc but my peers in nyc are around 230k. I’m one promotion away from hitting Long term incentives which will be 100k additional to short term incentives but will be vested over 3 years but that 100k is every year.

I have so much more time with family vs when I was at Accenture. For reference I’m the equivalent of a manager at Accenture. Hope this helps.

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?
